Question:
My wife got this jug from her mother. It say’s "Union Stoneware Co., Red Wing, MN". It’s approx. 15 inches tall and about 9 3/4 inches in diameter. Just wondering if you could give me an approximate age and value. Thanks. Rob
Answer: Rob, your 3 gallon shoulder jug was manufactured by the Minnesota Stoneware Company between 1895 & 1906. These jugs were produced in the 3, 4 & 5 gallon sizes. The way I see your jug, the value would be between $275 & $300. Nice piece, You owe your mother in-law a kiss on the cheek! Al Kohlman
